That's how we were taught to write a capital E ! :laughing:

My gt g-parents were buried there (1922 and 1928). I got the grave details off the register and took them to the cemetery. They then gave me this map with the location marked (section 24, 7 plots in one direction 29 in the other). The lady was very helpful. Unfortunately the grave was unmarked -...

Buying these is a bit hit and miss! Last one I bought was £11.49 from ebay in 2019 and it's still OK. I did buy two together a few years ago and they both died within a week. Just check that the seller offers a guarantee. Don't expect any of them to last 10 years though!

That's pretty good going! I don't think I've ever had one last longer than 5 years.

I'm assuming this is a laptop? See what happens if you remove the battery and run it off the power supply (charger). If its a desktop it suggests the bios battery needs replacing.

Looks like the corner of Cregoe St and Irving St. The only other Atkinsons pub called The Woodman listed in http://breweryhistory.com/wiki/index.php?title=List_of_Atkinson's_Brewery_Ltd_pubs#Warwickshire was in Summer Lane and I don't think it was on a corner.

Are you sure it wasn't the Schweppes sign you are thinking of which was on the side of the building as you came up from Digbeth, on the right opposite the church? There was a row of shops underneath including the Slow Boat chinese restaurant and I think a car park above. The sign faced towards...

Unfortunately much of the definition has been lost, particularly at the side of the face. If it's there on the original perhaps you could try scanning again? This is the best I can do:

If you can find out when they died https://birminghamburialrecords.co.uk/ may help.

I had the same - woke up about 1am, felt very cold and was shivering quite badly. Interestingly a doctor on the TV a few days later was talking about this and said it seemed to occur (sometimes) if you had already had Covid! This backed up my suspicions that I may have caught C-19 around...

And a sore arm :(

Not quite sure how the system works! My wife had one of those letters on Tuesday but as I hadn't had one she said she'd wait a few days until I received mine. However the same afternoon I had a phone call from my surgery giving me an appointment for the Friday so I asked if Joyce could have hers...

Mrs J and I both had ours yesterday - the Astra Zeneca one. Quite well organised at Monkspath Surgery.

I spent a total of about 2 years there between 1960 and 1965. Last year I made a list of all those I could remember from that time (for lack of anything else to do!) and so far the list totals 62. Edit now 63 - just thought of someone else!

I also got the error message when I tried to upload to coppermine but on closer inspection noticed that the photo had in fact uploaded! However Old Mohawks suggestion about putting the picture into an old post gave me an idea - I had already posted the photo on Facebook and was able to use the...

Help! I've been trying to add a photo to a conversation but it wants a URL with no option to insert directly. Could someone please remind me how to do it?

Always carried a penknife as did most of my collegues and I was never aware of anyone using one as a weapon!
